Okay, so, due to popular request by me and my dog, I am going to do a breakdown of thoughts about SUICIDE SQUAD trailer right now in this thread of joy and wonder.

SERIOUSLY go watch it first and MUTE THIS THREAD if you are avoiding spoilers, okay?
1/

Just one last time. MUTE THIS THREAD if you want to go in with as few spoilers as possible, okay?

Last warning, it's the unexpurgated version after this.

2/

Comic fans might know a lot of this already. So just skip that stuff, supernerds!

Suicide Squad was a highly influential bad-guys-doing-espionage comic, written by the great John Ostrander, and drawn mostly by the awesome Tom Grummett. That started it all.

Okay, there has actually been a bit of a lull in #MagicPorch activity, so in today's #TabletopGails, we played two games that were among the MOST SUGGESTED by you!

WOOT! They are by two of my favorite companies, too.

This was FUN. Let's see what they are!

1/

@TheOpGames

First is MARVEL SMASH-UP by @TheOpGames, and
DISNEY’S VILLAINOUS: DESPICABLE PLOTS by @RavensburgerNA!

Both of these games are hit series, these are the specific sets we played...both are standalone AND expansion sets.

Common factor was FUN.

2/

Start with MARVEL SMASH UP.

As always, if you have played these games or have questions, please feel free to jump in the thread...the designers and publishers often join in at some point and can be very helpful!

This is the Marvel version of a big hit series.

Okay, let ,me tell you about JLA. There won’t be any #SnyderCut spoilers, this is about the concept.

When I was a kid, I lived on a farm, and we were poor. All I wanted to do was read, so I read everything I could find, but I read a lot I didn’t love because it was there. 1/

My mom took me to a garage sale, there was a little stack of comics being sold for almost nothing. I saw an older comic and I just couldn’t look away. I begged to get it. I didn’t know who the characters were. It was this comic.
2/

I fell in love with comics that same night. I read that comic an untold number of times (I am ashamed to say I cut out some of the art and put it on my wall). I had to know who all the characters were, I made little notecards to add information as I learned about them.

So I want to talk a LITTLE bit about this #TabletopGails thing. It started because I asked on twitter if people had suggestions for board games to try. That's it.

But it has kind of exploded a bit. :)

Tons of publishers and designers kindly sent games to try, and...

1/

...they keep coming!

The thing is, the gaming has really helped my little family during quarantine. It's exercised our creativity, logic, imagination, and socialization. We have been loving it.

And I genuinely want to share that with as many people as I can.

2/

I am not monetizing anything. The games are given to me, my opinions are my own, no one is paying me.

I just think it could help a lot of people, and maybe give some folks ideas for games they might enjoy.

I know I keep saying this but it's why I keep doing it. :)

Hello, again! As many of you know, I have been delving deep into tabletop games, mostly for fun, but also because I genuinely believe that during quarantine, they can have a positive effect on people. And the community has been lovely and I am grateful. However...

1/

I want to share this enthusiasm with others, and it seems to be going very well, except for a lot of nice folks who would love to jump in, but for two reasons;

1) They don't have anyone to play games with and

2) Cost

2/

Now, it turns out that the game community is aware of these and we did a big thread about games you can play solo or online easily, with some great suggestions.

So now I want to talk a little bit about cost. Gaming CAN be super expensive. But it doesn't have to be!

HEY! It's another thrilling episode of #TabletopGails!

As many of you know, I asked for suggestions for board games a couple weeks back and roughly a billion games got sent to my house. HUZZAH! We are playing one new game a day and then I talk about them here with you nerds!
1/

Okay, I am slightly behind so today I am going to briefly cover TWO games we have tried, and cool fact: they are two of the MOST requested games for us to try of the entire Peninsula O’ Games that has come to my door. What are they, you ask?

2/

@RESTORATIONGAME

FIREBALL ISLAND by @RESTORATIONGAME and

HORRIFIED by @RAVENSBURGERNA!

These are two we were dying to play!

And so we PLAYED THE HELL OUT OF THEM, YOU GUYS.
